take the bus into town and have a look around?

oh yeah

[cml24]

Most shops near us that you would expect to have them, do.

Lidl and tool station for example I saw them in.

Why buy ? Easily made

[HustleRussell]

I noticed that Co-op had individually wrapped surgeon style masks close to the tills- first place I've seen this in the UK since 'the event'

Tesco are selling them, Don't know about the expresses but the big ones all are.

Same rule applies at my surgery but they will give you a single use one if you turn up without one for an appointment.

Double check with the surgery. Guidance to primary care is a little ambiguous as my practice’s interpretation is it isn’t mandatory and also that makeshift face coverings e.g. gaiters, scarves etc would suffice in any event.

Get a fabric reusable one, there are many being sold on local Facebook groups or Internet.

My Coop local has them by the tills now - I bought a pack to keep just in case....

[Hoofy]

Yes, Co-op sell disposable and reusable for £3. No need to chuck the disposable ones - it might not be as effective but it means you don't get a fine when you go on public transport or wherever as they don't check for impermeability or whatever the word is. I just use a buff folded over 3 times. Easy enough to wash.

A shop I'm going to has good quality re-useable ones (Shell/Budgens station) - I'll be in there later, if you want me to grab 2 for you just shout and I'll post them to you.

No worries

[Scrump]

My local home bargains store sells reusable ones for £1 each. (Limited to 4 per customer).

Dont buy dust masks ya know the ones that filter when breathing in only! so many people wearing them and not applying logic
Better than nothing quite possibly but thats social distancing too

[Prof Prolapse]

I use a cheap cycling type "snood" from eBay with a Panda face on it.

I'm not sure I've fully understood the point however.

That's quite funny, I've not used it but I looked one out the garage, and that never crossed my mind.

Save myself, fk everyone else?
